AUSTRIAN HAZELNUT CAKE:

 

 

 

8 tbsp. butter, softened                                               

½ cup sugar

4 eggs, separated                                                         

1 cup ground hazelnuts

3 tbsp finely chopped candied lemon peel                 

icing sugar

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10” layer cake pan and line the bottom with waxed paper.  Grease waxed paper and sprinkle with fine breadcrumbs.

 

In the bowl, cream butter and sugar, with a hand-held electric beater, until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, two at a time and continue beating after each addition. Add hazelnuts and lemon peels.  In another bowl, beat egg whites until very stiff; then fold it gently into egg yolk mixture. Turn batter into prepared pan.

 

Bake 40 minutes, or until done.  Turn cake out onto rack to cool.  Place a paper doily on cooled cake and sift icing sugar over doily. Remove doily carefully, leaving a pretty design.
